25. PowerMill Robot
PowerMILL Robot lets you program robots with
external axes such as rotary tables and linear tracks
as easily as you could program a 5-axis NC
machine
• Program robots holding spindles for
tool to part applications, ideal for
machining large, heavy parts for
prototype manufacturing or low
production runs, as well as cladding
or non-destructive testing
• Suitable for programming part to
tool applications, such as grinding
or linishing, and mass production
runs
• Increase the working area of robots
with external axes, such as linear
tracks and rotary tables, for greater
flexibility over the size and types of
parts you can manufacture

29. PowerInspect
A single easy-to-use metrology
solution, for portable, static,
manual, CNC & optical CMMs
Benefits:
• Measurement directly on the
machine tool helps make quick
scrap or rework decisions
• In-process measurement helps
keep manufacturing processes in
control
• Automated measurement
strategies provide fast and easy
programming
• Common file format allows
measurement sequences to be
transferred between machine tool
and measuring machine

30. Machine Align Move Inspect
Traditional Process Separate Machines
• Handling operations between machining &
measurement
• Rework time-consuming & difficult

35. Success Stories

36. “Right out of the box, PowerMill has improved our
surface finish tremendously and decreased the
programming time of the part. Alterations or
modifications to the tool path are much easier and
very simplistic in approach. The software is user
friendly in the step by step process to develop the
completed process. It’s actually fun to work with
PowerMill and makes the job enjoyable.”

Competitor PowerMill
Programming time
Competitor= 8 hrs
PowerMill= 2-3 hrs
New process has increase efficiency
and quality which has gave them
confidence to add more machines
and move previously outsourced work
in house.

37. • Existing system was difficult to use required
the model to be recreated at times for
toolpath creation
• Needed greater flexibility and ease of use
to meet manufacturing deadlines
• Updates were minimal allowing them to fall
behind in machining technology

“During the 10 years that I used
Pro/NC there where only a handful
of strategies added to the portfolio.
At that pace, Pro/NC will be where
PowerMill is now in about 25 years.
I reviewed several CAM packages
prior to purchasing Delcam
PowerMill and if you want to get or
stay on top, PowerMill is the way to
go.
To me support is one of the most
important factors when making
decisions based in the
manufacturing environment.
Delcam is always there to support
us if the need should arise. That
goes from programming challenges
all the way through to post
processing. If there is an issue,
Delcam will solve it.”
